I am a freelance translator since 2010, when I left my academic education and musical experiences due to my personal choices and decided this profession is the one that I love most, and the best I do. Since my earliest childhood, I like dealing with languages, and I only work for the best. That is how ambitious and assertive in my job.
After I graduated from an English-medium secondary and high school, I studied some economy in English. Thanks to my linguistic talent, I was awarded with a literary prize from Lions Club International so early in my lifetime that I have never needed a college diploma or any certificate to work in this area.
I still have ongoing contracts with worldclass outsourcers including Abbyy LS, RR Donnelley LS, Yamagata Europe, and Doğan Kitap (leading publisher in Turkey). I also worked temporarily for Lionbridge, SDL and Welocalize, by the agency of an LSP, but I preferred to stay freelance.
I translated millions of words for so many clients including Volkswagen, Audi, BMW Motorrad, Porsche, Lamborghini, Skoda, Scania, Caterpillar, JCB, John Deere, Bosch, Siemens, Philips, Abbott, Bayer, Jonhson & Johnson, Google, Microsoft, HP, LG, Cisco, Nike, Braun, Ernst & Young, TripAdvisor, Hotels.com, Expedia, Weebly, Shutterstock, Uber, Citrix, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Areva, Rockwell Automation, Vaillant, Swagelok and UPS.
I have quite a good reputation for my strict adherence to the cultural identification in Turkish language, a strong habit of doing research in a meticulous manner, as well as my clean and elegant style. In my leisure time, I like translating newspapers and periodicals like the Guardian, New Scientist and Frankfurter Allgemeine, and history books from different periods of time.

I lived in Canada and UK for some time and I had all my schooling in English.
I been translating various texts ranging from novels to marketing and website content, and to academic papers in social sciences. Also, transcribing Turkish soap operas and series.
Since because I have been educated well in positive sciences and I love reading and studying social sciences, and interested in engineering and aeronautics; I am able to work with almost any kind of text. Be it medical, technical like engineering issues... Just ask me If I can handle it, and I will tell you if I can get it done or not.

After completing my undergraduate education in Translation and Interpretation Department, I started working for various publishing houses as editor, copy-editor and book translator. Spending 5 years in publishing sector, I began working as a project manager for translation companies. Apart from translating IT and marketing documents for various local and international translation companies as a freelance translator, I have also worked as a technology consultant and trainer for various translation and localization companies. I am also in the process of completing my M.A. in Translation Studies at Boğaziçi University. I write for Dragosfer Magazine about translation and publishing industry and my short stories have been published by Velespit Fanzine.
The books I translated into Turkish: Embrace the Night Eternal (Joss Ware), City of Tranquil Lights (Bo Caldwell), A Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens), Making the Future (Noam Chomsky), The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, “His Last Bow”, (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, ed. Leslie S. Klinge).

I have been doing translation school upon completion of prep school of Ankara University in English by 2008. After that I have had an experience in Lisboa by learning the language in-site. Since then working as a high quality service provider as both translator, proof-reader and freelance project manager positions/tasks.

I have an advanced level of English thanks to my high school, TED Ankara College, where I started to learn English at the age of 7. It also enabled me to gain a perfect knowledge of Turkish in every aspect.
I learned Italian language later on at the Italian Institute of Istanbul, and during 4 years of residency and studies in Italy it became almost like my native language. I have a perfect diction of Italian and I work as an interpreter as well.
I improved my knowledge of Spanish by myself, took the DELE exam and now I am living in Spain.

A double-check prior to delivery is a must for me.
